Camaro SS vs Dodge Challenger SRT-8 vs Mustang Shelby vs ???

Camaro went on sell in the Spring of 09, but I think they were listed as 2010s. So, production date will be 09, while actual date of car was 2010...if that makes sense?

yep, that helps, thanks!

so if they were actually in showrooms spring 09, that would make the build dates closer to the 3 year mark we are looking for

Going back to the G8 - that is actually a bit older than needed, anything older than 5 years is also much more expensive to import. Plus the look isn't the same

[sayhuh?]

It's nice to see other countries trying to get American made cars. Wish it wasn't so hard for you all to get them. There in lies part of the problem for the US...not being able to get our car manufacturers in other countries, like we have it here with foreign companies. lol.

Speaking of, can you send me an Audi S8 with right hand drive?

He is referring to the GTO which iirc was a separate model for a few years recently just like it was back in the 70's

My vote would be for a shelby but a tuned out ss would be nice too. If you guys get either just make it look unique so everyone is like o whats that?

customs weren't as bad say 5 years ago, they're trying to protect the market here for the local manufacturers (most companies including GM run their productions lines locally, they just produce a limited number of models)....and GM Russia were saying that they would get the Camaro here, but looks like they don't want to go through the expense of getting the required certification for something that won't more than a few dozen units a year....they sell the Cruze's and Sparks and what not - plenty of these around..... Tahoes, burbans and all kinds of american SUV's are popular here as well

So getting a car out of the US isn't a problem, heck, it's not even that expensive at 1000-1500$ to load it in a container and it's at the border of Russia in Finland. but getting it through customs is a whole another story, especially something with a large engine

we have lots of Jap spec right-hand drive cars here

and runs 12's in the 1/4 mile?

Not without modifications it won't. Stock with average driver is usually mid-high 13's.

^^^^Blower, problem solved.

You've overlooked the 6.0 powered Pontiac GTO's. Same powerplant as the Camaro(basically) and tons of aftermarket go-fast goodies for it. They will fit your "older" status for customs purposes as they are 05 and 06's. A lot more rare than the other cars you mentioned as they no longer make them. Will be more of a collector in the future than a GT mustang or SS Camaro.

Ever think of an SUV? An AWD (All Wheel Drive) SUV, that weighs 5,000lbs, and runs 12's in the 1/4 mile? Get a Chevy Trailblazer SS, superchargers, tunes, efans, headers, exhaust, motor mods ALL AVAILABLE... Tons of room too...

Jeep Cherokee SRT-8 is faster stock if I'm not mistaken...

I think a fast suv would make more of a statement than a fast car.and I would want to see the build lol.
